We woke up this Monday after Easter to a surprise scene out the windows. This late snow, rare in Indiana in April, was a wet and heavy type. A few of the daffodils could not take the weight of the accumulated ‘slush’ and suffered collapse.

Seems like Earth is throwing curveballs left and right these days. 32 to 83 is one helluva spread.

It is, but pretty standard in the high desert. Heat in the morning, air in the afternoon.

High desert must be a fascinating environment in which to live. You are blessed, Tim.

I saw that “surprise late snowfall” prediction just last night and felt for everyone in the north. Snow took out my daffodils back in February. Hope your little rabbits and squirrel can cope.

This has been a tough year for daffodils! Our squirrels and rabbits do fine, and take winter in stride. Thanks for sharing.

They know how to find their way into the coop, and I expect they will spend most of the day there. Chickens don’t like walking in snow.

It was a shock, for sure. Fits the old Hoosier weather saying “If you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes…”
